Olivia Burton, 23, moves to California with her boyfriend Francis Morales, 24, against the wishes of their families. Francis’ mother, Lillian, is a devout Catholic who disapproves of her son’s cohabitation and makes her feelings known in the form of violent, religiously themed postcards. Despite these objections, the young lovers settle into their exciting new life together. However, their bliss is cut short when a bizarre accident leaves Francis physically and mentally vulnerable. He soon begins to suffer from night terrors – whispering in his dreams to a figure Olivia cannot see and walking to strange corners of the house. These episodes frighten Olivia and also suggest that Francis may be hiding something from her. Her investigation leads to a frightening and twisted discovery; they are haunted by the ghost of Francis’ childhood youth minister – a being who is furious about their life together and has come to punish them for their sins.
